@HipHopforever99 If anything artist should be mad at club DJs cause they already got paid, what do they have to lose by attempting to break a record? Plus, if it doesn’t work, they can easily get the crowd back. There’s nothing a radio DJ can do to get you to turn the radio station back.
@HipHopforever99 I get Ebro could’ve sounded less harsh, but he’s making sense! Hot 97 is not in the business of breaking records, they’re job is to keep listeners from changing the station. Which is less likely to happen if they play what’s already hot or a name people recognize 🤷🏾♂️
Vince Staples has always been consistent on the point of separating art from commerce. Love the point he made here tho.
